In all my years of flying I have had my cabin bag weighed less than half a dozen times. And in most of those cases it was by check-in staff under training. Of course, if an airline elected to charge for anything over 5 Kg they would have to enforce a gate weight check (for those who checked in on line). I also suspect that, in time, they would lose clients! But if it's just some odd airline flying leisure travelers to the Caribbean, they might get away with it. Nevertheless, I think the savings would be insignificant and probably not worth all the hassle.
